^  Historical  and  Descriptive  Sketch  of  the  Institution. 

IN  the  year  1770,  a  number  of  the  most  respectable  and 
public  spirited  inhabitants  of  the  city  of  New- York,  sub- 
scribed considerable  sums  of  money,  for  the  purpose  of  erect- 
ing and  establishing  a  public  Hospital ;  and  a  petition  was  pre- 
sented by  Peter  Middleton,  John  Jones  and  Samuel 
Bard,*  three  eminent  physicians,  to  Lieutenant  Governor  Col- 
den,  then  commander  in  chief  of  the  province  of  New- York, 
for  a  charter  of  incorporation,  which  was,  in  consequence, 
granted,  the  following  year,  by  the  Earl  of  Dunmore,  gover- 
nor and  commander  in  chief  of  the  province. 

By  this  charter,  dated  the  13th  July,  1776,  the  mayor,  re- 
corder, aldermen  and  assistants,  of  the  city  of  New- York,  the 
rector  of  Trinity  Church,  the  different  ministers  of  the  several 
other  protestant  churches,  the  president  of  King's  (now  Co- 
lumbia) College,  and  the  principal  and  most  respectable  inha- 

*  From  the  following  extract  from  a  medical  difcourfe,  delivered  by  Dr. 
Middleton,  in  King's  (now  Columbia)  College,  on  the  3 J  November,  1769,  it 
appears  that  the  firfl  fuggeftion  relative  to  the  eftablifhment  of  an  Hofpital  was 
made  by  Dr.  Bard.  "  The  neceffity  and  ufefulnefs,"  fays  Dr.  Middleton,  "  of  a 
"  public  infirmary,  has  been  fo  warmly  and  pathetically  fet  forth,  in  a  difcourfe 
"  delivered  by  Dr.  Samuel  Bard,  at  the  commencement  in  May  laft,  that  his  ex- 
**  cellency,  Sir  Henry  Moore,  immediately  fet  on  foot  a  fubfcription  for  that  pur- 
"  pofe,  to  whicb  himfelf  and  molt  of  the  gentlemen  prefent  liberally  contributed. 
"  His  excellency  alfo  recommended  it,  in  the  moft  prefling  manner  to  the  affem- 
kt  blyof  the  province,  as  an  object  worthy  of  their  attention;  and  the  corpora- 
M  tion  of  the  city  have  given  affurances  of  granting  a  very  valuable  and  com- 
"  modiouslot  of  ground  for  erecting  the  building  upon;  fo  that  there  is  now,  al- 
"  moft  a  certain  profpect  of  this  benevolent  and  humane  foundation  foon  taking 
"  place  :  And  as  it  is  to  be  on  the  moft  catholic  and  unexceptionable  plan,  it  is  to 
"  be  hoped,  that  it  will  meet  with  the  countenance  and  encouragement  of  every 
"  companionate  and  good  member  of  fociety,  whatever  party  or  denomination  he 
'  may  choofe  t«  be  diftinguifhed  by,  on  other  occafions."

History  of  the  New-Tork  Hospital. 


bitants  of  the  city,  were  named  as  members,  and  incorporated, 
by  the  name  of  the  "  Society  of  the  Hospital  in  the  city  of  New- 
York  in  America."*  Twenty-six  governors  were  also  named, 
for  the  management  of  the  affairs  and  business  of  the  Institu- 
tion, who  held  their  first  meeting,  on  the  25th  July,  1771. 

Through  the  influence  of  Doctor  John  Fothergill  and  Sir 
William  Duncan,  considerable  contributions  were  made  to  the 
society,  by  many  inhabitants  of  the  city  of  London,  and  other 
places  in  Great- Britain  ;  and  in  1772,  the  legislature  of  the 
province  of  New-York  granted  an  annual  allowance  of  800 
pounds  (2,000  dollars)  in  aid  of  the  institution,  for  twenty 
years. 

In  1773,  the  governors  of  the  hospital  purchased  of  Mrs. 
Barclay  and  Mr.  Rutgers  ground  for  the  erection  of  a  suita- 
ble edifice.  A  plan  of  a  building  having  been  procured  by 
Dr.  Jones,  the  foundation  was  laid,  the  27th  July,  1773  ;  but 
on  the  28th  February,  1775,  when  it  was  almost  completed, 
the  building  accidentally  took  fire,  and  was  nearly  conr 
sumed. 

By  this  misfortune,  the  society  suffered  a  loss  of  seven 
thousand  pounds  ;  and  the  execution  of  their  benevolent  plan 
would  have  been  wholly  suspended,  had  not  the  legislature,  in 
March,  1775,  generously  granted  them  the  sum  of  four  thou- 
sand pounds,  towards  rebuilding  the  house,  and  repairing  the 
loss  they  had  sustained.  But  the  war  between  Great-Britain 
and  the  Colonies,  which  took  place  in  the  same  year,  prevented 
the  completion  of  the  edifice.  During  the  war,  the  house  was 
occupied  by  the  British  and  Hessian  soldiers,  as  barracks,  and 
occasionally,  as  an  hospital. 

The  effects  of  the  war  on  the  circumstances  of  our  citizens, 
and  the  general  derangement  of  affairs,  prevented  any  atten- 
tion to  the  institution  ;  and  it  was  not  until  the  3d  January, 
1791,  that  the  house  was  in  a  proper  condition  to  receive  pa- 
tients, when  eighteen  were  admitted. 

The  annuity  granted  by  the  provincial  legislature,  ceased 
with  the  commencement  of  hostilities  between  Great-Britain 
and  the  colonies  ;  but  the  legislature  of  the  state,  on  the  1st 
March,  1788,  directed  eight  hundred  pounds,  during  four 
years,  from  the  1st  February,  1788,  to  be  paid  to  the  hospital, 
out  of  the  monies  arising  from  the  excise  in  the  city  of  New- 
York.  And  the  legislature,  by  a  subsequent  act,  passed  the 
11th  April,  1792,  for  the  better  support  of  the  hospital,  granted

two  thousand  pounds  a  year,  for  five  years,  payable  out  of  the 
city  excise. 

By  an  act,  passed  the  31st  March,  1795,  the  legislature  re- 
pealed the  act  ol  the  11th  April,  1792,  as  to  future  payments, 
and  granted  to  the  hospital  four  thousand  pounds,  annually, 
for  five  years,  payable  out  of  the  duties  on  sales  at  public  auc- 
tion, in  the  city  of  New- York.  An  additional  sum  of  one 
thousand  pounds,  a  year,  for  four  years,  was  granted  11th 
April,  1796,  payable  out  of  the  same  fund.  And  on  the  20th 
March,  1801,  the  annual  allowance  of  12,500  dollars  was 
continued  for  five  years,  from  1st  February,  1800. 

By  an  act  passed  the  30th  March,  1797,  for  the  establish- 
ment and  support  of  a  Luzaretto,  the  masters  and  wardens  of 
the  port  of  New- York,  were  authorized  to  receive  of  the  mas- 
ters, officers,  seamen  and  passengers  of  every  vessel  entering 
the  port  ot  New-York,  a  certain  sum  for  each  person,  which 
was  directed  to  be  paid  to  the  commissioners  of  the  health  of- 
fice, for  the  relief  of  sick  seamen  and  foreigners  admitted  into 
the  Laz.retto;  and  the  surplus,  if  any,  was  directed  to  be 
paid  to  the  governors  of  the  hospital,  for  the  relief  of  such 
seamen  and  foreigners,  as  might  be  patients  of  the  Hospital. 

By  an  act,  passed  April  1,  1796,  for  regulating  the  port  of 
New- York,  the  harbour-master  was  directed  to  pay  certain 
fines  therein  mentioned  to  the  treasurer  of  the  New- York  Hos- 
pital. 

By  an  arrangement  between  the  treasury  department  of  the 
United  States,  and  the  Hospital,  made  in  1799,  the  sick  and 
disabled  seamen  at  the  port  of  New-York,  are  received  into 
the  Hospital,  and  enjoy  all  its  advantages.  The  collector  of  the 
port,  under  the  direction  of  the  secretary  of  the  treasury  of 
the  United  States,  pays  out  of  the  hospital  money  collected 
and  received  by  him,  three  dollars  per  week,  for  the  board  and 
maintenance  of  each  seaman,  including  medicine  and  other 
charges. 

But  the  collector,  since  July,  1804,  has  refused  to  pay  for 
more  than  75  seamen,  at  any  one  time.  The  governors,  how- 
ever, considering  every  seaman  who  has  paid  hospital-money 
to  the  collector  of  the  United  States,  as  having  a  just  claim  on 
the  government  of  the  United  States  for  hospital  relief,  have 
not  hitherto  refused  admittance  to  seamen,  beyond  the  number 
limited  ;  trusting  to  the  justice  of  the  national  legislature,  for 
remuneration  of  the  sums  expended,  in  the  support  of  such  sea- 
men, beyond  the  amount  received  from  the  collector.^  With-

the  years  t8o6,  1807,  1808,  1809.  and  1810,  beyond  the  number  limited  by

out  the  aid  which  has  thus  been  afforded  to  them,  many  of  this 
useful  and  meritorious,  though  careless  and  improvident  class 
of  men,  must  have  been  abandoned,  in  disease  and  poverty,  to 
the  casual  and  precarious  relief  of  common  charity. 

In  1801,  an  agreement  was  made  between  the  New- York 
Hospital  and  the  governors  of  the  Lying-in-Hospital,  by 
which  the  existing  funds  of  the  latter  were  to  be  paid  to  the 
use  of  the  former  institution,  on  condition  that  a  lying-in  ward 
should  be  established  ;  and  a  suitable  ward  for  that  purpose 
was  accordingly  fitted  up  and  opened  for  the  reception  of  pa- 
tients. 

In  consequence  of  the  recommendation  of  the  medical  facul- 
ty of  Columbia  College,  the  governors  of  the  hospital,  in 
August,  1796,  appropriated  the  sum  of  500  dollars  towards 
the  purchase  of  a  medical  library  ;  to  which  the  members  of 
that  faculty  contributed  books  from  their  private  libraries,  and 
part  of  their  fees  of  public  instruction.  An  hospital  library 
was  thus  established,  which  was  further  augmented  by  the 
purchase  of  the  medical  library  of  Dr.  Romayne,  in  1800,  and 
by  the  accession,  in  1805,  of  the  library  of  a  private  associa- 
tion of  physicians,  under  the  name  of  the  Medical  Society  of 
New- York,  who  gave  their  books,  on  condition,  that  they  and 
such  of  their  sons,  as  should  become  practitioners  of  medi- 
cine in  the  city  of  New- York,  should  have  the  free  use  of  the 
hospital  library.  In  1805,  the  governors  appropriated  the  an- 
nual sum  of  250  dollars,  for  the  purchase  of  books  ;  and  large 
additions  have  been  made  to  it,  by  purchases  and  donations, 
from  time  to  time  ;  so  that,  including  the  valuable  botanical 
library  of  Dr.  Hosack,  lately  purchased,  the  Hospital  library 
now  contains  about  3,000  volumes,  among  which  are  some  of 
the  rarest  and  most  valuable  works  in  medical  science. 

As  there  existed  no  institution  in  the  state,  for  the  reception 
and  cure  of  lunatics,  the  governors  were  induced  to  appro- 
priate apartments  in  the  hospital  for  patients  of  that  descrip- 
tion ;  but  as  the  building  was  not  designed  for  that  purpose, 
the  accommodations  were  found  to  be  extremely  inconvenient 
and  inadequate  ;  and  the  applications  for  the  admission  of  lu- 
natics, constantly  increasing,  it  was  resolved,  in  1806,  if  the 
legislature  would  lend  its  aid  for  that  purpose,  by  further  con- 
tribution, or  by  giving  greater  permanence  to  the  existing  al- 
lowance, to  erect  a  separate  building,  to  be  exclusively  appro- 
priated to  the  reception  of  that  unfortunate  class  of  persons. 

the  collector,  was  843.  And  the  whole  charge  of  their  maintenance,  at  the 
rate  of  three  dollars  per  week,  during  thofe  five  years,  amounts  to  9,500  dollars  ; 
for  which  fum,  nothing  has  yet  been  received  by  the  Hofpital.

An  application  was  accordingly  made  to  the  legislature,  who 
passed  an  act,  on  the  14th  March,  1806,  continuing  the  an- 
nual provision  for  the  Hospital,  payable  out  of  the  duties  on 
sales  at  auction,  in  the  city  of  New- York,  until  the  year  1857. 
The  governors  immediately  proceeded  to  lay  the  foundation 
of  the  proposed  edifice,  denominated  the  "  Lunatic  Asylum," 
which  was  completed,  so  as  to  be  open  for  the  reception  of  pa- 
tients, on  the  15th  July,  1808,  when  nineteen  were  removed 
from  the  other  building,  and  forty-eight  more  admitted,  mak- 
ing in  the  whole  sixty-seven.  The  whole  cost  of  the  asylum 
was  about  fifty-six  thousand  dollars. 

To  complete  the  plan  of  the  Hospital  and  render  it 
more  extensively  useful,  it  is  desirable,  that  another  building 
should  be  erected,  on  the  northerly  side  of  the  ground,  corres- 
ponding with  the  lunatic  asylum,  which  besides  accommoda- 
ting a  greater  number  of  patients,would  furnish  apartments  for 
an  anatomical  museum,  a  more  spacious  theatre  for  surgical  ope- 
rations, and  apartments  for  other  useful  objects,  connected  with 
the  institution ;  but  the  execution  of  this  design  will  depend 
on  the  increase  of  the  funds  of  the  hospital,  which  have  been 
exhausted,  by  the  building  of  the  asylum,  and  in  necessary 
repairs  and  improvements.  The  governors,  however,  indulge 
the  hope,  that  by  the  aid  of  the  legislature,  and  private  contri- 
butions, this  part  of  their  plan  may  yet  be  accomplished. 

To  assist  the  governors  to  discharge  the  debts  contracted  in 
building  the  asylum,  the  legislature  by  an  act,  passed  the  23d 
March,  1810,  granted  to  the  hospital  the  sum  of  3,500  dollars 
per  annum,  for  ten  years,  payable  quarterly,  out  of  the  dutiea 
on  goods  sold  at  auction  in  the  city  of  New- York. 

The  institution  is  under  the  management  of  twenty-six  go- 
vernors, who  meet  on  the  first  Tuesday  in  every  month,  at  the 
Hospital ;  their  services  are  gratuitous. 

Persons  labouring  under  incurable  ailments,  or  diseases  of 
any  kind  are  not  admitted  into  the  hospital ;  being  regarded 
as  fitter  objects  for  the  alms-house  ;  and  because  their  admis- 
sion might,  after  a  time,  defeat  the  very  purpose  of  the  institu- 
tion, which  is  intended  as  an  infirmary,  for  the  reception  and 
cure  of  such  as  require  medical  or  surgical  treatment,  in  com- 
mon diseases  and  accidents,  the  restraint  and  management  re- 
quisite for  lunacy,  and  the  care,  nursing  and  attendance  neces- 
sary for  lying-in  women.  Sick  women  who  have  young  chil- 
dren, are  not  received  wTith  their  children,  unless  the  child,  as 
well  as  the  mother,  is  a  proper  patient.  Persons  having  the 
small-pox,  measles  or  any  infectious  or  contagious  disease,  are 
not  admitted ;  but  they  are  sometimes  received  as  out-pa- 
tients, and  attended  by  the  physicians  of  the  hospital.

History  cf  the  New-Tork  Hospital. 


Every  applicant  for  admission,  must  bring  with  him  a  recom- 
mendation from  one  of  the  governors,  or  a  physician  or  sur- 
geon of  the  hospital,  except  in  behalf  of  lunatics,  when  the  ap- 
plication must  be  made  to  the  committee  of  the  lunatic  asyium. 
In  cases  of  sudden  accidents,  patients  may  be  received  by  the 
superintendent,  without  a  recommendation,  until  the  next 
meeting  of  the  visiting-  committee,  who  decide  on  the  propriety 
of  the  patient's  remaining  in  the  house.  A  governor,  phy- 
sician or  surgeon  may  also  give  a  special  recommendation  in 
cases  requiring  the  immediate  admission  of  a  patient.  Citi- 
zens of  this  state,  not  resident  in  the  city,  who  are  desirous  of 
being  admitted,  must  be  recommended  by  a  justice  of  the  peace, 
and  by  one  or  more  of  the  overseers  of  the  poor,  of  the  city  or 
town  in  which  they  reside.  An  account  also  of  their  diseases 
should  be  drawn  up  by  a  physician  or  surgeon,  and  sent  with 
them. 

A  visiting  committee,  consisting  of  three  governors,  attend 
the  hospital  on  Tuesday  and  Friday  in  every  week,  at  11 
o'clock  in  the  morning,  for  the  purpose  of  admitting  patients, 
who  are  previously  examined  by  one  of  the  attending  physi- 
cians or  surgeons,  or  by  the  house-physician  or  house-surgeon. 
Such  patients  as  are  unable  to  pay  for  their  board  and  mainte- 
nance, are  received  as  paupers  ;  but  such  as  are  able  to  pay,  in 
part  or  in  whole,  are  admitted  as  pay-patients,  on  such  terms 
as  may  be  agreed  on  by  the  visiting  committee,  who  take  secu- 
rity for  the  performance.  This  committee  have  the  general 
care  and  charge  of  the  hospital,  receive  all  applications  or 
complaints,  and  direct  all  the  officers  and  servants  in  the  dis- 
charge of  their  respective  duties. 

There  is  also  an  inspecting  committee  consisting  of  two 
governors,  who  visit  the  Hospital  at  leastonce  a  week,  to  inquire 
whether  the  bye-laws  and  regulations  relative  to  the  manage- 
ment and  economy  of  the  house  are  duly  observed  and  carried 
into  effect ;  and  particularly  to  examine  into  the  conduct  of  the 
officers,  servants,  and  nurses,  to  see  that  the  patients  have  not 
been  neglected, and  to  hear  their  complaints,  and  to  report  them, 
with  their  observations,  to  the  governors,  at  their  next  meeting. 

The  lunatic  asylum  is  under  the  immediate  charge  of  a 
committee  of  three  governors,  who  admit  and  discharge  all 
patients  of  that  description.  By  an  agreement  made  with  the 
commissioners  of  the  alms-house,  in  the  city  of  New- York,  lu- 
natics are  received  from  that  charity,  at  the  rate  of  two  dollar? 
per  week,  which  barely  defrays  the  actual  cost  of  their  mainte- 
nance, exclusive  of  medicine,  clothing,  and  funeral  expenses. 
By  the  third  section  of  the  act  of  the  legislature,  passed  the 


History  of  the  New-York  Hospital. 


24th  March,  1807,  the  overseers  of  the  poor  of  any  city  or 
town,  by  and  with  the  consent  of  the  common  council  of  such 
cit\  ,  or  two  justices  of  the  peace  of  the  county,  in  which  such 
town  shall  be,  whene  ver  any  poor  person,  legally  settled  in  any 
such  city  or  town,  and  maintained  at  the  public  charge,  and 
who  were  or  shall  become  lunatic  or  insane,  may  contract  with 
the  governors  of  the  Hospital,  for  the  care  and  maintenance 
of  such  lunatic,  on  such  terms  as  they  may  deem  meet,  and 
transport  such  lunatic  to  the  Hospital ;  and  the  sums  agreed 
on  are  to  be  paid  to  the  Hospital,  by  the  overseers  of  such  city 
or  town,  who  are  to  enter  the  same  in  the  poor  book,  with 
the  cost  and  charges  of  removal  to  and  from  the  Hospital,  in 
like  manner  as  provided  by  "  the  act  for  the  relief  and  settle- 
ment of  the  poor provided  that  the  place  of  settlement  of 
such  lunatic  shall  remain  as  before  removal,  and  that  idiots,  or 
such  pel  sons  as  are  not  lunatic  or  insane,  are  not  to  be  sent 
to  the  Hospital. 

The  governors  have  agreed  to  admit  such  lunatics  from  the 
different  counties,  on  the  same  terms,  as  they  are  received 
from  the  alms-house  in  the  city  of  New-York. 

There  are  six  physicians  and  four  surgeons  who  attend  the 
Hospital.  They  are  selected  from  the  most  eminent  of  the 
profession  and  appointed  by  the  governors.  One  physician  is 
required  to  visit  every  medical  patient,  afflicted  with  any  acute 
disease,  at  least  once  a  day,  and  oftener,  if  necessary ;  and 
every  medical  patient,  without  distinction,  must  be  visited,  at 
least  three  times  a  week.  One  surgeon  must  visit  the  Hos- 
pital, at  least,  three  times  a  week,  and  every  surgical  patient, 
once  a  week,  at  least.  The  physicians  and  surgeons  perform 
these  services  gratis.  The  incidental  advantages  of  such  an 
appointment,  in  regard  to  their  profession,  afford  them  some 
remuneration. 

There  are,  also,  a  house-physician  and  a  house-surgeon,  re- 
siding constantly  in  the  Hospital,  who  are  appointed  for  one 
year.  They  are  generally  young  men,  and  the  qualifications 
required,  are,  that  they  shall  have  attained  twenty-one  years  of 
age,  have  been  pupils  of  a  practising  physician  or  surgeon  for

factory  testimonials  of  his  good  character,  before  he  is  ad- 
mitted. He  has  the  charge  of  the  apothecary's  shop,  and  com- 
pounds and  makes  up  all  medicines  prescribed,  according  to  the 
directions  of  the  physicians  and  surgeons.  The  house-phy- 
sician and  house-surgeon  are  required  to  visit  the  wards,  at 
least,  every  morning  and  evening,  and  to  be  prepared  to  re- 
port the  state  of  the  patients  to  the  attending  physicians  and 
surgeons  ;  and  they  must  see  that  the  medicines  prescribed 
are  sent  to  the  patients,  and  duly  administered. 

The  Lunatic  Asylum  is  attended  by  one  physician,  who  has 
the  sole  charge  of  the  medical  treatment  of  the  patients.  He  is 
required  to  visit  the  asylum,  three  times  every  week,  at  least, 
and  oftener,  if  necessary.  The  present  physician  is  Dr. 
Bruce,  who  has  attended  the  asylum,  since  it  was  first 
opened. 

The  superintendant,  who  is  the  steward  of  the  Hospital,  and 
the  ?natron,  are  charged  with  the  domestic  management  and 
economy  of  the  institution. 

The  ground  on  which  the  Hospital  stands  is  an  area,  about 
455  feet  in  length,  and  440  feet  in  breadth,  bounding,  in  front, 
on  Broadway,  in  the  rear,  on  Church-street,  northerly,  on  An- 
thony-street, and  southerly,  on  Duane-street.  Part  of  this 
area,  fronting  on  Broadway,  is,  at  present,  owned  and  occu- 
pied by  individuals,  leaving  an  avenue  of  about  90  feet, leading 
from  Broadway,  which  is  planted  with  a  double  row  of  trees. 
The  whole  of  this  ground  ought  to  belong  to  the  Hospital ;  and 
when  it  is  considered  how  important  it  is  to  the  institution,  and 
how  inconvenient  and  disagreeable,  the  immediate  vicinity  of 
the  Hospital  must  be  to  those  who  may  be  disposed  to  erect 
dwelling-houses  on  those  lots,  it  is  hoped  that  the  owners  will 
prefer  selling  them  to  the  Hospital,  on  reasonable  terms,  and 
that,  in  this  instance,  at  least,  private  interest  will  yield  to  a 
sense  of  public  good. 

The  ground  belonging  to  the  Hospital  was  inclosed  with  a 
brick  wall,  in  1801. 

The  scite  of  the  Hospital  is  elevated,  being  considerably 
above  the  level  of  Church-street,  and  about  600  yards  dis- 
tant from  Hudson  River.  It  is  one  of  the  most  open  and 
airv  situations  in  the  city,  and  possesses  great  advantages  for  the 
enjoyment  of  fresh  and  salubrious  breezes. 

The  principal  building,  denominated  the  Hospital,  is  of 
grey  stone,  and  in  the  simple  Doric  style.  It  extends  in  front, 
124  feet,  is  50  feet  deep  in  the  centre,  and  86  feet  deep  at  the 
wings,  which  project  on  each  side.  It  consists  of  three  stories 
above  the  basement ;  a  third  story  having  been  added  in 


History  of  the  New-York  Hospital.  11 


1803,  when  it  became  necessary  to  put  on  a  new  roof.  The 
height  above  the  ground  is  about  52  feet.  The  base- 
ment story,  which  is  about  10  feet  high,  contains  a  larger 
and  a  smaller  kitchen,  a  laundry,  bathing  room,  three 
store-rooms,  and  two  wards  fitted  up  for  the  temporary  accom- 
modation of  patients  whose  particular  disease  renders  it  ne- 
cessary to  remove  them  from  intercourse  with  others.  The 
principal  story  is  about  14  feet  high.  In  the  centre,  is  a  hall 
and  stair-case,  a  room  for  the  governors,  which  contains  the 
library,  a  parlour  and  bed  room  for  the  superintendant  and 
matron,  an  apothecary's  shop,  and  a  room  for  the  clerk.  In 
each  story  of  each  wing  are  two  wards,  36  feet  in  length, 
and  24  feet  in  breadth,  opposite  to  each  other,  and  opening 
into  passages  extending  from  one  end  of  the  house  to  the 
other,  and  communicating  by  a  staircase.  On  the  second  and 
third  floors  of  the  centre,  are  rooms  for  the  accommodation  of 
the  house-physician,  house-surgeon,  apothecary,  and  different 
officers  and  servants  ;  in  the  second  story,  on  the  westerly 
side,  is  an  apartment  established  as  a  lying-in  ward  ;  and  in 
the  third  story,  looking  to  the  northwest,  is  the  theatre  for  sur- 
gical operations,  fitted  up  so  as  to  accommodate  about  two 
hundred  persons.  It  is  well  lighted,  by  a  large  window  in  the 
pediment,  which  has  been  substituted  for  a  sky-light  in  the 
roof,  by  request  of  the  surgeons.  This  building  contains  16 
wards,  36  feet  long,  and  24  feet  broad,  for  the  sick,  in  which 
about  300  patients  may  be  accommodated.  There  are  23 
other  rooms  of  different  dimensions,  besides  the  lying-in  ward 
and  theatre  for  surgical  operations. 

The  edifice  is  crowned  with  a  handsome  cupola,  which  af- 
fords a  most  extensive  and  picturesque  view  of  the  city,  har- 
bour and  adjacent  country.  There  is  an  excellent  kitchen- 
garden,  and  the  grounds  are  laid  out  in  walks,  planted  with 
fruit  and  ornamental  trees,  for  the  benefit  of  convalescent 
patients.  There  is  also  a  large  and  well  constructed  ice- 
house, a  bathing  house,  and  convenient  stables. 

The  building  denominated  the  Lunatic  Asylum,  is  also  of 
grey  stone.  It  is  situated  on  the  southerly  side  of  the 
ground,  at  a  short  distance  from  the  principal  building, 
and  corresponding  with  it,  in  its  exterior  appearance  and  style 
of  architecture.  Being  separate  from  the  other  house,  the 
sick  are  not  incommoded  by  the  lunatics,  who  have  separate 
yards  inclosed,  one  for  males,  and  the  other  for  females, 
where  such  as  can  be  trusted  at  large,  are  permitted  to  walk  in 
the  open  air.

History  of  the  New-York  Hospital. 


This  building,  on  account  of  the  declivity  of  the  ground, 
has  a  sub-basement,   besides  a  basement  and  two  principal 
stories.     Its  length  is  90  feet ;   it  is  40  feet  deep  m  tne 
centre,  and  65  feet,  at  the  wings,  which  project  12f  ieet  on  each 
side.    The  sub-basement  contains  10  rooms,  11  ieet  long  and 
8i  feet  wide  and  9  feet  high  ;  3  rooms,  lbi  ieet  long  and  1  li 
feet  wide,  and  a  kitchen,  23f  feet  long  and  16f  feet  wide. 
There  is  a  hall  running  through  the  centre,  from  one  end  to 
the  other,  into  which  the  doors  of  the  rooms  or  cells  open^ 
opposite  to  the  windows.     This  hall  is  paved  with  marble, 
and  in  it  are  fixed  seven  circular  iron  stoves,  communicating 
with  iron  pipes  fixed  in  brick  flues,  reaching  to  the  top  ol  the 
building  ;  each  flue  passes  through  the  corners  of  the  rooms, 
so  as,  by  means  of  iron  doors  and  valves,  to  communicate 
heat  to  two  rooms,  in  each  story.    All  the  rooms  or  ceils,  ex- 
cept the  four  largest,  and  those  in  the  upper  story,  are  arched 
with  brick,  and  the  walls  are  also  brick,  whitewashed  ;  so  that 
there  is  no  wood,  and  the  floors  being  filled  in  with  brick,  the 
building  is  completely  fire-proof;  and  the  patients,  while  they 
have  sufficient  heat,  in  the  winter  season,  cannot  possibly  set 
fire  to  any  part  of  the  building,  or  injure  themselves.  The 
basement  story  contains  the  same  number  of  rooms,   and  of 
the  same  size  with  those  in  the  sub-basement.    In  each  of  the 
two  principal  stories,  are  also  10  rooms,  1 1  feet  long  and  8-£  feet 
wide;  two  rooms,  17  feet  long  and  lI-£  feet  wide,  ana  two 
rooms,  24  feet  long  and  17  feet  wide,  w  hich  open  into  a  hall 
11  feet  wide.     The  height  of  the  principal  story  is  14-£,  and 
of  the  upper  story,  12$  feet. 

There  is  a  yard  inclosed,  75  feet  in  length  and  65  feet  in 
breadth,  and  another  between  the  house  and  the  street-wall, 
on  the  southeily  side,  about  200  feet  long  and  50  broad,  in 
which  the  patients  take  the  air,  and  amuse  themselves. 

The  height  of  the  building,  from  the  ground,  in  front,  is 
about  46  feet.  It  contains  60  rooms  of  different  dimensions, 
which  will  contain  about  eighty  patients.  The  apartments  are 
adapted  for  persons  of  every  condition,  the  rich  and  the  poor, 
equally  subject  to  this  worst  of  human  miseries,  who 
may  be  here  accommodated  according  to  their  various  cir- 
cumstances in  life. 

From  the  year  1806,  to  the  year  1810,  both  inclusive,  342 
lunatics  have  been  admitted  into  the  asylum  ;  ol  which  150 
have  been  discharged,  as  cured  ;  24  relieved  ;  75  at  the  re- 
quest of  friends  ;  24  have  eloped,  and  33  have  died  ;  and  on 
th- first  November,  1811,  there  were  59  patients  remaining 
in  the  asylum. 


History  of  the  Nexv-York  Hospital.  13 


The  whole  number  of  patients  admitted  into  the  hospital 
from  the  year  1792,  to  1810,  inclusive,  is  13,753,  of  these 
9,227  have  been  cured  ;  886  relieved  ;  646  discharged,  at  the 
request  of  friends;  458  as  disorderly  ;  187  sent  to  the  alms- 
house ;  517  eloped,  and  1676  have  died — 266  patients  re- 
mained in  the  Hospital,  at  the  end  of  the  year  1810. 

From  the  1st  February,  1792,  to  31st  January,  1795,  a  pe- 
riod of  3  years,  1221  patients  were  admitted,  and  1169  dis- 
charged. From  the  31st  January,  1795,  to  31st  December, 
1803,  a  period  of  9  years,  4,760  were  admitted,  and 
4,744  discharged.  From  31st  December,  1803,  to  31st  De- 
cember, 1810,  a  period  of  7  years,  7,772  were  admitted. 
This  simple  statement  sufficiently  shows  the  great  and  increa- 
sing utility  of  the  institution  ;  and  it  can  scarcely  be  necessary 
to  expatiate  on  the  public  good  derived  from  its  establishment. 

Its  benefits  are  too  obvious  to  every  benevolent  and  reflect- 
ing mind,  to  require  the  aid  of  particular  description.  Not- 
withstanding the  provisions  of  the  poor-laws,  made  for  the 
relief  of  the  indigent,  in  the  different  towns  and  counties,  and 
the  numerous  charitable  associations,  public,  and  private, 
which  reflect  so  much  honour  on  the  state,  so  numerous  are 
the  objects  which  solicit  the  aid  of  the  benevolent,  to  mitigate 
their  distress,  so  various  are  the  accidents  of  life,  and  so  di- 
versified the  forms  of  human  misery,  that  such  an  institution  is 
indispensible  in  the  great  system  of  public  charity.  Various 
causes  conspire  to  render  public  hospitals  peculiarly  necessary 
in  a  great  city,  the  capital  of  a  commercial,  populous,  and 
flourishing  state.  It  is  there  adventurers,  and  persons  from 
distant  countries  resort,  to  better  their  fortunes,  or  to  engage 
in  more  congenial  pursuits.  It  is  the  capital  which  receives 
most  of  the  emigrants  from  foreign  countries,  driven  from 
their  homes  by  poverty,  misfortune,  or  crime  ;  or  impelled  to 
seek,  in  a  distant  land,  a  more  secure  enjoyment  of  political 
and  religious  freedom,  or  a  more  advantageous  exercise  of 
their  various  trades  and  professions.  The  immense  business 
carried  on,  in  such  a  commercial  and  growing  city,  in  naviga- 
tion, ship-building,  architecture,  manufactures,  and  all  the 
auxiliary  arts  and  trades,  while  it  attracts  great  numbers  from 
the  neighbouring  states  in  search  of  employment,  and  the  pur- 
suit of  gain,  must  give  rise  to  frequent  accidents  and  diseases, 
for  which  many,  who  are  destitute  of  friends  or  relations,  can 
find  no  cure  or  relief  but  in  a  public  hospital. 

There  is  another  point  of  view  in  which  this  Hospital  may 
also  be  regarded,  as  an  institution  of  great  public  utility.  The 


1,4  Historij  of  the  New-Tor  k  Hospital. 


central  position  of  this  city,  in  regard  to  other  parts  of  the 
the  United  States,  and  its  easy  and  convenient  access,  at  all 
seasons,  renders  it  an  admirable  situation  lor  the  establish- 
ment of  an  university  of  medicine.  These  natural  advan- 
tages, though  they  have  not,  perhaps,  been  improved,  as  they 
ought  to  have  been  by  the  body  of  medical  professors,  have 
not  been  wholly  overlooked,  and  the  progress  now  making  in 
the  different  branches  of  science,  and  in  collecting  the  most 
extensive  means  of  instruction,  bids  fair  to  give  che  medical 
school  of  New-Tor  ky  a  superiority  over  any  other  in  the 
United  States.  Besides  the  various  literary  and  scientific  in- 
stitutions in  the  city,  the  Hospital  library,  the  valuable  anato- 
mical preparations  of  Dr.  Post,  professor  of  anatomy  in  Co- 
lumbia College,  the  large  and  increasing  cabinet  of  mine- 
ralogy, belonging  to  Dr.  Bruce,  and  the  extensive  botanic 
garden,  established  by  Dr.  Hosack,  lately  purchased  by  the 
state,  furnish  to  students,  excellent  means  of  acquiring 
an  accurate  knowledge  in  those  different  branches  of  science. 
To  this  medical  school,  the  Hospital  is  a  powerful  and  al- 
most indispensible  auxiliary,  by  affording  the  best  opportunity 
to  students  to  improve  themselves  in  the  practice  of  medicine 
and  surgery.  To  promote  this  important  object,  permission 
is  given  to  the  students  who  attend  the  lectures  of  the  different 
professors  in  medicine  and  surgery,  in  the  colleges,  to  see  the 
practice  of  the  Hospital,  and  to  attend  the  clinical  lecturers, 
who  daily  visit  it,  during  the  period  of  their  clinical  instruc- 
tion. 

The  first  course  of  clinical  lectures  was  delivered  by  Dr. 
Samuel  Bard,  of  Columbia  College,  and  they  were  suces- 
sively  continued  by  the  late  Dr.  William  Pitt  Smith,  and 
Dr.  John  R.  B.  Rodgers,  the  present  physician  of  the  port. 
Since  the  establishment  of  the  college  of  physicians  and  sur- 
geons in  the  city  of  New- York,  the  professors  of  both  colleges, 
being  physicians  of  the  Hospital,  equally  enjoy  the  benefits  of 
this  institution,  for  the  purposes  of  clinical  instruction.  The 
present  lecturers  are  Dr.  Hamersley  and  Dr.  Miller.  Dr. 
Seaman,  one  of  the  surgeons  of  the  Hospital,  also  delivers 
clinical  lectures  on  surgery,  during  the  winter  season,  and  the 
governors  permit  him  to  use  the  theatre  for  that  purpose. 

Founded  and  supported  on  the  principles  of  the  Christian 
religion  and  general  benevolence,  without  respect  to  any  sects 
or  distinctions,  political,  civil  or  religious,  all  persons,  whose 
maladi  HB  render  them  fit  objects  of  such  a  charity, 
arc  considered  as  equally  entitled  to  the  benefits  of  this  Hos- 
pital.

By  this  humane  and  useful  institution,  the  rich  and  bene- 
volent have  it  in  their  power  to  alleviate  the  real  and  un- 
affected miser>-  of  the  poor,  with  the  pleasing  assurance,  that 
while  they  are  indulging  the  finest  feelings  of  the  heart,  and 
fulfilling  the  great  duty  of  Christianity,  their  charity  will  not 
be  abused,  nor  their  bounty  misapplied.  Indeed,  when  the 
object  of  this  bounty,  and  the  manner  in  which  it  is  bestowed, 
are  considered,  it  must  be  a  consoling  reflection,  that  in  no 
other  way  could  private  or  public  contributions  be  so  efficaci- 
ously and  beneficially  applied,  or  produce  so  much  real  and 
unmixed  good  to  the  community.*

George  the  Third,  by  the  Grace  of  God,  of  Great  Britain, 
France  and  Ireland,  King,  Defender  of  the  faith,  and  so 
forth. 


To  all  to  whom  these  Presents  shall  come,  Greeting  : 

WHEREAS  our  loving  subjects,  Peter  Middleton, 
John  Jones,  and  Samuel  Bard,  of  our  city  of  New- 
York,  physicians,  by  their  humble  petition  presented  unto 
our  trusty  and  well-beloved  Cadwallader  Colden,  Esq. 
our  Lieutenant  Governor,  and  then  our  commander  in  Chief, 
of  our  province  of  New- York,  and  the  territories  depending 
thereon  in  America,  and  read  in  our  council  for  our  said  pro- 
vince, on  the  ninth  day  of  March,  which  was  in  the  year  of 
our  Lord  one  thousand  seven  hundred  and  seventy,  did, 
among  other  things,  in  substance,  set  forth,  that  there  had 
been  a  subscription  set  on  foot  by  them,  for  the  purpose  of 
erecting  a  public  Hospital  in  our  said  city  of  New- York,  and 
that  sundry  public  spirited  persons,  influenced  by  principles  of 
benevolence,  had  liberally  subscribed  towards  the  same  ;  that 
from  the  manifest  utility  of  such  an  infirmary,  the  petitioners 
hoped  for  further  contributions,  and  that  some  very  consi- 
derable donations  had  been  then  already  promised,  in  case  the 
success  of  the  Institution  should  be  rendered  probable  ;  but 
that  the  said  monies  could  not  be  conveniently  collected,  or 
the  design  prosecuted  with  vigour,  unless  a  corporation  should 
be  formed  for  that  purpose  ;  and  therefore  the  petitioners 
humbly  prayed  our  Letters  Patent,  forming  a  corporation  for 
the  purposes  aforesaid  :  now  we,  taking  into  our  royal  consi- 
deration the  beneficial  tendency  of  such  an  Institution  within 
our  said  city,  calculated  for  relieving  the  diseases  of  the  indi- 
gent, and  preserving  the  lives  of  many  useful  members  of  the 
community,  are  graciously  pleased  to  grant  the  said  humble 
request  of  our  said  loving  subjects :  know  ye  therefore,  that

the  said  corporation,  existing  for  many  years  past,  had  been 
made  in  strict  conformity  with  the  charter  of  the  said  society, 
and  that  their  franchises  under  the  said  charter  might  thereby 
be  rendered  insecure,  and  have  prayed  that  their  said  fran-

sequences of  any  such  mistake,  or  any  future  inaccuracy  or 
misconstruction  ;  and  also  that  the  legislature  would  be

tofore occurred  ;  and  all  the  acts  of  the  said  corporation  shall 
be  and  hereby  are  confirmed  and  declared  to  be  as  valid  to  all 
intents  and  purposes,  as  if  no  such  misuser  or  other  cause  of

sician or  surgeon.

be  incurable,  nor  any  whose  cases  do  not  require  the  parti-

sary. 

in.  The  asvlum  committee  shall  have  the  same  powers, 
and  perform  the  same  duties,  with  relation  to  the  asylum,  as

made  by  the  superintendant,  or  visiting  committee.

for  the  expenses  of  maintenance  of  such  patient,  the 
charges  of  burial,  in  case  of  death,  and  of  removal,  in  case 
the  patient  is  sent  back  to  his  or  her  friends;  and  whenever  a 
patient  is  sent  to  the  asylum,  it  is  recommended  that  a  state- 
ment of  his  case,  drawn  up  by  a  physician,  or  some  of  his

physician  of  the  asylum.

out a  written  request  to  admit  him  from  the  superintendent 
thereof.  And  such  patient,  when  discharged,  shall  be  returned

town  in  this  state,  may  be  received  on  the  same  terms  as 


52 


By-Laws  of  the  Neiv-York  HospitaL 


those  sent  by  the  city  and  county  of  New- York.  But  the 
asylum  committee  shall  take  security  for  the  payment,  and  {of 
the  expenses,  of  sending  the  patient  back  to  the  town,  when  dis> 
charged. 

XII.  Every  such  patient  when  discharged,  shall  be  sent 
back  to  the  town  from  which  he  was  received,  and  a  certificate, 
like  that  mentioned  in  the  tenth  section,  shall  be  sent  with 
him. 

XIII.  A  register  shall  be  kept  by  the  keeper,  under  the  di- 
rection of  the  asylum  committee,  in  which  he  shall  record  the 
admission  and  discharge  of  ali  patients,  with  such  other  mat- 
ters as  the  committee  may  think  proper. 

XIV.  No  visitor  shall  be  admitted  into  the  asylum  with- 
out permission  from  a  governor,  physician,  or  surgeon  of  the 
hospital,  or  from  the  superintendent ;  nor  at  any  other  than  at 
such  stated  hours,  as  shall  be  from  time  to  time  appointed  for 
that  purpose,  by  the  asylum  committee.  And  the  physician 
of  the  asylum  may  absolutely  prohibit  all  visitors  from  such 
patients  as  he  thinks  proper,  or  allow  them,  under  such  restric- 
tions as  he  shall  judge  necessary. 

XV.  The  physician  of  the  asylum  shall  cause  to  be  kept  a 
register,  in  which  shall  be  entered  every  case  under  his  care, 
the  name,  age,  place  of  residence,  and  occupation  of  the  pa- 
tient, the  probable  cause  and  history  of  his  disorder,  the  re- 
medies used,  the  termination  of  his  disease  ;  and  such  other 
circumstances  as  may  tend  to  elucidate  the  case,  and  the  nature 
of  the  disease — which  register  shall  be  kept  in  the  asylum,  un- 
der the  care  of  the  commi  ttee,  who  shall  provide  a  proper  book 
for  that  purpose  ;  and  they  shall  cause  all  special  and  remark- 
able cases  to  be  entered,  at  the  end  of  eVery  three  months,  by

"  society  relating  to  the  library,  dated  the       day  of  18

N.  B.  It  may  be  proper  to  observe,  that  few  patients  apply 
for  admission  into  the  Hospital,  until  every  other  resource  has 
been  exhausted,  and  their  diseases  advanced  to  their  worst 
stages  ;  and  many  who  meet  with  sudden  accidents,  are  often 
brought  to  the  Hospital,  in  an  incurable  state,  and  die  of 
their  wounds  or  fractures,  a  short  time  after  their  admission. 

But  notwithstanding  the  increased  number  of  patients  du- 
ring the  last  three  years,  the  number  of  deaths  has  considera- 
bly diminished.
